NEW YORK (February 4, 2014) – Forbes announced today the release of the second title in its 2014 e-book line, Warren Buffett, The $59 Billion Philanthropist, edited by Forbes’ Associate Producer Jennifer Eum. The new e-book, produced and distributed by Vook, includes 15 carefully curated profiles of the Oracle of Omaha, written by Forbes reporters, ranging from 1969 to 2013, each one shining light on the man Buffett has become through his many years as an unparalleled capitalist and philanthropist. In his own words, Warren Buffett said, “If you’re the luckiest 1 percent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 percent.”

The fifteen profiles featured in the e-book, which were previously published in Forbes and ForbesLife magazines, include:

“You Pay A Very High Price In The Stock Market For A Cheery Consensus”— Warren Buffett for Forbes (1979)

Afterword “When I Was 25”: The $50 Billion Decision—Warren Buffett for Forbes (2012)

Forbes discovered Warren Buffett in 1969 when he was just making his mark as a shrewd financier who consistently beat the market, both in bear and bull markets. Since then, Forbeseditors and reporters have covered Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway—gaining access precious few have ever enjoyed—as the billionaire continues to make an indelible mark in the investing world. The book includes some of Warren Buffett’s greatest quotations, such as “Wall Street is the only place the people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.”

Forbes’ 2014 e-book line will feature several unique subjects over the upcoming months, including Wealth Doctors; Wall Street’s Hottest Career; How To Get Your Dream Job; and What You Need To Know To Succeed As An Entrepreneur.
